Content:
Voice into Acting focuses, not simply on voice as a skill or ways to approach text, but on how to integrate voice into acting process and performance. How can actors bridge the gap between themselves and the text and action of a script, and integrate fully their learned vocal skills? How do we make an imaginary world real, create the life of a role, and fully embody it vocally and physically so that voice and acting become one? Christina Gutekunst and John Gillett unite their depth of experience in voice training and acting to bring the two together in a unified and comprehensive approach informed by Stanislavski and his successors - the approach taught to actors in drama schools throughout the world and which draws on natural human experience in the creation of a role
